Abstract:
"A report from the first International Phylogenetic Nomenclature Me=
eting
is
presented. The meeting revealed that the PhyloCode, once implement=
ed,
will
itself not require adherence to the three major tenets of philosop=
hy
that
proponents have claimed required its creation. These include the
abandonment of (1) non-monophyletic taxa, (2) ranks, and (3) types=
."
Cheers,

Little steps are often the hardest to take. We are too used to mak=
ing leaps in the face of adversity, that a simple skip is so hard to =
do. We should all learn to walk soft, walk small, see the world arou=
nd us rather than zoom by it.
